It looks like we've pretty much mad a decision, everyone seems to like the idea of a Paph project. So yes, I'll get the new project thread up and running this weekend.

I know there are some small species, I might look into them. They are cute and beautiful at the same time.

The plan seems to be to stick to the original idea of picking a primary hybrid, though now the choice is wide open. I agree that a hybrid will be more forgiving, which is great for people new to the genus. In your case you could go for primaries of more challenging species?
